Embedded Controls Engineer

Avanti Recruitment is working with a specialist engineering company that designs and manufactures advanced scientific equipment used in research and industrial R&D.

They are looking for an Embedded Controls Engineer to help develop the next generation of their control systems.

This is an R&D-focused position centred around embedded C/C++, microcontrollers and electronics. The company is at an early stage of moving towards a new embedded control architecture, giving the successful engineer genuine input into how future systems are designed and developed.
